Nicole M. Hewitt (she/her) (https://nicolemhewitt.com/) lives in the Chicago suburbs with her husband, three grown kids, and two overly-enthusiastic pups. She first flexed her creative muscles as a theatre major at the University of Illinois and later taught theatre, writing, and ELA at a large homeschool co-op. More recently, she worked as the Kids’ Specialist at her local Barnes & Noble. Nicole loves singing and can often be heard spontaneously composing incredibly profound songs about the fluffiest members of her family (the dogs, in case you weren’t sure). Nicole’s debut middle grade fantasy novel-in-verse, The Song of Orphan’s Garden released in 2025 and was chosen as a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection.
